12 CHRISTCHURCH MAIL, MARCH 19, 2015 SPORT Korfball player set to take on players from game’s home By MATTHEW LAU A third-generation korfball player will represent New Zealand in the under-19 Korfball World Cup in the Netherlands. Boris van Bruchem, 16, will fol- low in the footsteps of his parents in the mixed-gender game, which has similarities to netball and basketball. The competition will take place in Leeuwarden, Friesland, in the northwest Netherlands, from April 2 to 5. Boris, of Shirley Boys’ High School, will join the 15-strong team, who are coached by Australia’s Mark Garrett. His father Ewout, 47, like many Dutch children, grew up in an enthusiastic korfball-playing family – in fact, his parents met playing the sport in the Netherlands during the early 1950s. Years later, Ewout followed suit, meeting his wife, Liesbeth, 44, through korfball, then marrying her in the city of Vlissingen, Zeeland. Liesbeth speaks fondly of Boris’ playing ability, saying korfball ‘‘is in his blood’’. She says he began watching the game from his pram, then when he was at intermediate school, Ewout was the coach, so – of course – Boris made the team. The young sportsman says being selected for the national team is an amazing feeling. ‘‘Not many people get to play for New Zealand, so it’s really cool, because I played in the Canterbury team before that in Melbourne – that was a lot of fun. ‘‘It is a lot better this time; it will be a much bigger event.’’ Having lived in New Zealand all his life, Boris relishes the prospect of facing his nation of origin and korfball world champions, the Netherlands. ‘‘I will treat it just like any other game, really. They are really good, because they have so many players to choose from. I think I will learn a lot from watching them play – it will definitely be very hard.’’ Boris is also a keen rugby player, and believes the skills mastered in korfball and rugby complement each other.
